The One That You Let In.

[Intro – low ambient hum + clean guitar slide]
[Male vocal Spoken low, almost a whisper]
I saw the way you looked at me…
Like I was the next collapse.

 [Verse 1 – steady beat, warm male baritone vocals]
You talk like love's a hurricane,
But I ain't here to keep you bound 
I ain’t here to wear a crown,
Or to watch you burn it down.
You brace when I move close,
Like you're waiting for the hit—
But I’m not like all the rest. 
I'll keep your fire lit.

[Pre chorus]
If you're gonna love me,
Do it scared, do it torn.
Bring your thunder. 
Bring your warnings.
I’ll weather your storms.

[Chorus – full band, grit + harmony]
I don’t need your best behavior—
Just the truth inside your skin.
If you're gonna love me…
Let me be the one that you let in.
Let me in. 
[Verse 2 – layered acoustic + steel guitar undercurrent]
You say you’re tired of being strong,
I say that’s what made your fire.
And I don’t want a perfect heart,
I want the one that walked through wire.

[Pre chorus]
If you're gonna love me,
Do it scared, do it torn.
Bring your thunder. 
Bring your warnings.
I’ll weather your storms.

[Chorus – full band, grit + harmony]
I don’t need your best behavior—
Just the truth inside your skin.
If you're gonna love me…
Let me be the one that you let in.
Let me in.
 
[Guitar solo, driving rhythm 4 measures]

 [Bridge – soft vocals, layered with echo FX]
If you drop your guard tonight,
I won’t come crashing through—
I’ll just sit right there beside it,
Til your silence lets me through.

[Full harmony, buildup]
I’m not the fix
I’m not the cure
I’m the flame
That will endure!

[Guitar solo]

[Chorus, full vocal harmony]
If you're gonna love me,
Do it scared, do it torn.
Bring your thunder. 
Bring your warnings.
I’ll weather your storms.

If you're gonna love me,
Let it bleed, let it roar.
Let it rise from every breakdown you swore
you’d walk out for.
You say you’re not ready—
But baby, I already am.

[Outro build up then slow down]
If you're gonna love me.. 
Do it scared, do it torn…
If you're gonna love me
Bring your storms.
Bring your warnings.
I promise I'll be there!

If you're gonna love me…
Do it as I love you:
No plan.
Just stand.
Take my hand.

[Outro – sustained guitar chord + echo harmonics, vocals softl]
Still here. 
Still with you.

 [spoken softly]
Baby, I love you
